I always try to approach my games, especially as WH, as a new beginning even if I know the coach can and will be a problem. I try to use the experience to help me improve my conflict resolution skills. Whenever I thought about a coach ejection afterward I thought I probably could have avoided it by using a difference approach then the one I did. To defuse the situation is much more rewarding then tossing some overzealous emotional jerk. This year Ive left my second flag in by bag. The few times I went for it helped me to slow down, remain calm, keep my voice even and unemotional. Ive even used the verbal Judo talked about in this month Ref Mag on some coaches and Ive defused most situations. Just some thoughts.
